I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY)
Interview
Horrible! I still get nightmare because of it. Goldman Sachs is a reputable organization and they need to know that their employees, every single one of them, represent the company. Before you can work there, before you can really know what they do, you have to go through their interviewing process and it's extremely important that they give a good impression to the candidates. Their employees are essentially the ambassador of the company. Unfortunately, I had a horrible experience with my interviewer whose name I shall not mention here. She was condescending and just straight out rude. How is anyone supposed to code and solve any problem when they are consistently challenged at every line? "What on Earth are you doing?" "Do you even know what Math.floor() does?" "Why are you doing this, do you understand the question at all?" These questions were so distracting. The questions to me were actually quite straightforward, but 10 minutes in I had already given up due to such terrible impression. It's very distasteful and quite unfortunate. I still hold Goldman Sachs to a high esteem, but I doubt I'll be applying there again any time soon.

Question 1
My questions were very specified, I can't share them here to hide my profile.
A recruiter reached out to me. Technical screening was easy, then the super day loop included LC medium/hard questions. The last interview was my background check, project deep-dive, and theoretical conversation about applied solutions and their limitations/optimization.
